How to make Markdown.LinkClicked work?

[Tim-Cao]

from textual.app import App, ComposeResult
from textual.containers import *
from textual.widgets import *
import webbrowser

MESSAGE = """
[Textual GitHub Repository](https://github.com/Textualize/textual)
"""


class ScriptApp(App):
    def action_open_link(self, event: Markdown.LinkClicked) -> None:
        webbrowser.open(event.href)

    def compose(self) -> ComposeResult:
        yield Header()
        yield Markdown(MESSAGE)
        yield Footer()


app = ScriptApp()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()

You appear to be confusing actions and event/message handlers. Markdown.LinkedClicked is an event, so will require a message handler.

Works! Thanks

    def on_markdown_link_clicked(self, event: Markdown.LinkClicked) -> None:
        webbrowser.open(event.href)
